Of course, it won't help if the Wii-Netflix experience blows. Luckily, that's not the case.

Here are our impressions on Netflix on the Wii after playing around with it:

The navigation is annoying. Using the Wiimote isn't a lot of fun to browse for something to watch. Flipping through the titles isn't the most efficient way to find movies. We haven't been able to find a search function, so we couldn't just look for "The Office Season 1" to see if it's on there.

The standard def isn't a killer, but it sure is a blast from the past. After getting accustomed to high def, watching the movies and shows on Netflix are bit of a blast from the past. The darker colors, fuzzier edges, etc. remind us of watching shows taped on VHS. This is a Nintendo Will limitation; not Netflix's. (Using component video cables could help, too.)

Overall, we're happy with it. It's much more convenient than plugging a laptop into the TV. And it provides another good reason not to own cable. It's another nice entry point for Netflix's streaming service.
